CNBC reports that Meta plans to spend up to $65 billion in 2025 on AI infrastructure, aiming to become a market leader in artificial intelligence. This investment is under scrutiny due to President Donald Trump’s tariffs-heavy trade policies, which may increase costs. Meta’s upcoming LlamaCon conference and quarterly earnings report are highly anticipated for insights into AI spending and business impact.

Meta recently released Llama 4 models and is developing AI agents integrated into apps like Facebook and WhatsApp. The company also plans to launch a stand-alone Meta AI app with a paid subscription model to compete with ChatGPT. Analysts note that while Meta has a large user base, monetizing AI remains a challenge. Despite potential cost increases from tariffs, Meta is expected to maintain or even increase its AI investment.
